A tough wake.

.
.
It took from a bit after eight until a bit after noon... perhaps thirteen hundred, to wake.  Oh, I tried.  The girls helped, without clawing or biting.  They can be very helpful, if they will be patient.

Ducks were tended first, then the girls.  Sam seems to have regained her composure, so I won't force her outdoors... or yet.  But it is a nice day.  I think she would enjoy it.  Coffee has been made, and is cooling just a bit.  I don't do hot off the press coffee.  I like it cool enough to drink without slurping, or burning my mouth anywhere, yet warm enough to warm my belly on a hot, middling, cool, or especially cold day.

As well, I like setting my tea up for the day.  Filling drinking and storage bottles, all half gallon jugs.  Changing out a jug if it is looking or smelling a bit old, which... I haven't been keeping up on.  With all the dishes nearly done, I can begin going back through them.  I have several clean extras just waiting, so that isn't a problem.  I do drink a lot of tea, even now.  From a gallon to three a day, more as the heat returned just a bit.

It is running to the 70s and 80s outdoors, staying well up to the high 60s and low 70s indoors.  It's about as good as it gets, especially since I need do nothing to obtain that.  I am just enjoying.  Actually, upstairs, it got to 71 with windows open, a fan going, and the downstairs door open.  It was perfect, temperature wise, to wake... at least by the time I was able to wake.  I suspect the temperature is what allowed me to wake.

It is cloudy out there, or seemed it.  It can change fast, but I still get the sense that weather is encroaching.  Not sure we will get rain, or cool, or cold, but it could happen.  It just seems, from sight, as if something could happen.  Weather forecasting has never been good, and with it's intent on AGW, it has surrendered what qualities it once had.  It always pushes an agenda through it's weak lenses, which are currently always in the wrong direction.  It all but has to be wrong, most of the time.  No use watching.  Though, it seems, they can get occasional severe bad weather right.  I suppose they have no choice there, some form of government requirement?  Which probably means the government isn't interested in putting out real weather news most of the time?  At least at the bureaucratic level, when it intersects with academia, which makes a lot of money on government through the AGW lies, via grants and such.  Makes sense, if it is evil.

Later.
